Be sure to bring the camera and good walking shoes. The cost of $7.00 was very reasonable and well worth the money.

I had visited this museum shortly after it first opened with my older two children. Twenty years later, I visited with my younger set. It was even better than I remembered. I could hardly drag the boys (including my spouse) away after hours here. They were fascinated by the displays and thorough explanations posted. Hats off to this museum for... more
